Last Sunday afternoon while I was trying to take a nap, something came to my mind that kept me awake. I started thinking about celebrities pushing shopping carts. Yeah, I know that's weird, and when I turned over and told Nettl, who was also trying to nap, she got into it, and instead of a pleasant Sunday afternoon nap, we spent an hour speculating and laughing. That was cool.Some people I can visualize doing this mundane task and looking quite comfortable, but some, well, I can't see them doing it at all. This picture is of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Nope. Doesn't work for me. Neither one looks right with a cart. Here are the lists of people I've come up with, living and dead...
People I CAN visualize pushing a shopping cart:
- Paul McCartney
- John Lennon
- Harrison Ford
- Jay Leno
- Robin Williams

- George Clooney
- Tom Petty
- Jack Black
- Carlos Santana
- Donovan
- Stevie Riks
- Allen Ginsberg
- Bonnie Raitt
- Bela Lagosi
- Richard Gere (he'd be a label reader)
- Jayne Mansfield
- Gwenneth Paltrow
- President Obama (he'd be a comparison shopper - "Why should we spend this much when we can get the same thing for 7-cents cheaper per ounce? That's just not smart.")
- Ringo Starr
- George Harrison
- Mark Hamill
- Rod Stewart
- Elton John
- Michael Douglas
- Catherine Zeta Jones

This list could go on forever, so feel free to add your own ideas. I'm getting another glass of wine.
